Sweden: Moderaterna push "security rents" for new tenancies
SwedenNorthern EuropeOn the globe
The Moderates want "trygghetshyror" for new contracts: landlord and tenant negotiate the rent at move-in, then it tracks an index, paired with strict security-of-tenure rules — a careful, partial liberalisation of Sweden's rigid rent-regulation system.
A politically survivable route to rent liberalisation, framing market pricing as "security" rather than deregulation — directly transferable to UK debates on rental supply and the Renters' Rights agenda.
